After having had trouble with finding packages in apt-get and using dselect and making a few mistakes, I find I've gotten my system a little out of whack. Everything is working fine, but I mistakenly deleted some packages with dselect. Just recently I went to use slrn and found it wasn't there, apt-get wouldn't snag it and I had to use dpkg.. Is there any way to 'sync' the packages so apt-get will work the way it used to? I also think there are some problems that evolve with using helix-gnome packages. I see things available in dselect, gaim for example, but when I run apt-get it says the newest package is installed. I've rtfm and done clean and autoclean, any shortcuts? thanks --dale
